Spring approaches

In case you're wondering who to thank for the warmer weather and the obvious approach of spring - thank me! Let me explain. You know the old theory of wash your car to make it rain? Same thing at work here. You see, when we were without power for a few days after those really nasty spring thunderstorms a couple of years ago, I decided to buy a generator. My mother razzed me about it. "You'll spend all that money and I'll bet we'll never have that kind of power failure again." My answer, "Great! Then it will be worth EVERY PENNY!"

Back to spring. Just a few days ago, with wind chills in the single digits and snow on the ground, I purchased:

A heated birdbath

And three cans of Prestone Spray De-Icer

Winter's back has been broken. Spring is almost here.
